Taking a leap of faith<\/h3>\n

\u201cAs a Retail Recruiter, I\u2019m responsible for vacancies for leadership positions within our Boutiques in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and future countries where My Jewellery continues to grow. My days are incredibly varied. I work closely with stakeholders, manage recruitment projects and regularly organize hiring days. No two days are the same, and that\u2019s exactly what gives me energy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore joining My Jewellery, I worked as a flight attendant. Recruitment was a completely new world to me. Still, this role felt right from the start. I thought: why not just give it a try? Getting the opportunity without any recruitment experience made it even more special. To me, it shows that My Jewellery looks beyond what\u2019s written on your r\u00e9sum\u00e9. Today, I\u2019ve truly made the role my own.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Growing through trust and freedom<\/h3>\n

\u201cWhat I love most about my job is the freedom to contribute ideas and try new things. We\u2019re growing quickly as an organization, which means there\u2019s always something happening. Together with my colleagues, I\u2019m constantly looking at how we can make processes smarter, faster and better. We simply test ideas in practice. Not everything has to be perfect right away. In fact, you learn the most by trying. That freedom to take initiative and develop yourself suits me perfectly. It allows me to keep growing every day, both professionally and personally.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Seeing potential where others might not<\/h3>\n

\u201cWhat I\u2019m most proud of? Being able to help find new colleagues for My Jewellery. I like looking beyond experience on paper. Sometimes, the greatest potential can be found in someone who doesn\u2019t fit the standard profile. I recognize that from my own journey. The best moment is when someone gets an opportunity, finds the perfect place within the organization and truly starts to grow. That\u2019s when you see the impact a great match can have.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Building growth together<\/h3>\n

\u201cWhat makes me feel at home here is that you truly become part of the company\u2019s growth. You\u2019re given the space to share ideas, take ownership and actively contribute to the future of My Jewellery. That\u2019s incredibly motivating. We also have a wonderful team. The atmosphere is open and informal. We work hard, listen to each other and help one another whenever needed. Everyone contributes in their own way, and that\u2019s exactly what makes our collaboration so strong. To me, that\u2019s what Let\u2019s grow together is all about: growing together, embracing opportunities and helping each other become the best version of ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
